Ahmedabad, Mumbai proposed bullet train travel time less than 2 hours!



Despite adverse feedbacks, the Indian Railway may approve the Ahmedabad-Mumbai bullet train project any time soon. 

The 543-km route is likely to have elevated tracks along the existing rail lines. Important stations on it will include Surat, Bharuch and Vadodara. The travel time between Mumbai and Ahmedabad will be reduced to less than two hours from the current duration of over six hours.

Railway Board officials too were opposed to the project. The cost, Rs 63,000 crore, is really inhibitive. The money would be quite enough to purchase a few aeroplanes,” an official told Deccan Herald.
